I too believe it should be a women's right to decide what to do with her body and especially her uterus.<br />enough said, back to the quilting here.QueenBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07323668075912985411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-7666883160726698752022-05-07T10:42:47.642-04:002022-05-07T10:42:47.642-04:00It appears to me that most of the protesters are y...It appears to me that most of the protesters are youngish people who have never lived in a time when safe and legal abortions were not yet available. A high school girl in my small town and class performed her own abortion with a coat hanger. Needless-to-say she almost died. I wonder to this day if she was ever able to have children when the time in her life was right. I can't imagine the pain that decision made on her life at the time or even into her future. Although I would never have had an abortion myself I certainly can't imagine that I have the right to make a decision in anyone else's life because of my morals. All first world countries allow abortions and they were even allowed here in the US in colonial days. I don't want us here to follow any of the laws followed in more fundamentalist countries concerning the treatment of women. Are we on the road to treating women uneducated and the property of some man? Horrible!!!!<br /><br />Thank you, Bonnie, for being brave enough to speak your mind. I find more and more reasons to stand together with brave women including you. And I LOVE the smell of lilacs. They are just so darned pretty also.<br /><br /> NE quilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05062947960962793657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-71649288202649185282022-05-07T10:02:55.010-04:002022-05-07T10:02:55.010-04:00Hi Bonnie.

The comment about men's bodies reminds me of a mammogram I had done just before Covid shut everything down. I find the diagonal squish involved in the mammogram very painful and uncomfortable. I mentioned this to the technician doing the mammogram. I then said : Why is it we women subject ourselves to this but men don't have to have their testicles squished . Her reply was : There would not be single man that would show up for that. I had to laugh at that. When I told my husband what I had said, he said : I wouldn't show up for that !!Chrismamaanglohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03877908331424001424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-30443576369145145022022-05-06T23:31:16.157-04:002022-05-06T23:31:16.157-04:00This calls for my "first" comment on you...This calls for my "first" comment on your daily writings.

She was actually carrying twins. The abortionist only aborted ONE of the twins leaving her to go septic with the other one. She was VERY close to death. Thankfully, she made it through. It was TERRIBLE and it could have been prevented if it had only happened a little less than 1 short year later.Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10888470806176778317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-24606001916025043702022-05-06T11:59:54.788-04:002022-05-06T11:59:54.788-04:00I agree Bonnie.

You probably already know that, but just in case you might want to add that to your list of suggestions for guest with computerized machines in case the power goes out and switches to the generator. I am not familiar with how that works. Just don'[t want it cause you or anyone else surprise results.

The storm of two weeks ago, we were without power for 4 days. Oher than the rumble of the gas motor, our life went on as normal. The neighbor was getting water from our place and showering. Amen to your thoughts on one's uterus. The choice is entirely the woman's. She deserves safe medical care and emotional support, no matter what HER choice may be.

I am sad and appalled that we seem to be going back in time to make sure that women aren't allowed to make decisions about their bodies. And that the people clamoring about denying those decisions - also happen to be the same folk who vehemently opposed mandatory vaccination, you know - you can't tell me what to do with my body. Maybe this ruling will make mandating vaccines (all vaccines not just covid) easier. After all, vaccines save lives.
